description | Purpose: In recent years, lipid metabolism has been reprogrammed to meet the energy and substrate needs of tumorigenesis and development and is a potential new target for cancer treatment. However, the regulatory mechanism of lipid metabolism in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is not well understood. Methods: We first downloaded the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) gene dataset in the GEO and TCGA databases and analyzed the central differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of ESCC through bioinformatics. Afterwards, the GSEA method was used to analyze the lipid metabolism-related pathway of the central gene in the pathological process of ESCC, and it was determined that the central gene OIP5 was significantly related to the fatty acid metabolism pathway. Our heatmap also revealed that the enrichment of the ACSL family in ESCC tissues was more pronounced than in normal tissues. We hypothesized that OIP5 can regulate the fatty acid metabolism process in ESCC cells and affect the tumorigenic ability of ESCC. Further statistical analysis and experiment were conducted to determine the lipid metabolism-related gene, OIP5′s, expression pattern and clinical significance in ESCC, analyze the effect of OIP5 expression on fatty acid metabolism-related enzymes in ESCC, revealing the specific mechanism of OIP5 that promotes ESCC development. Conclusions: Our study established a correlation between OIP5 expression and clinicopathological factors (tumor size, T stage, N stage, and clinical grade) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (p < 0.05). We have also experimentally demonstrated that OIP5 regulates ESCC fatty acid metabolism by influencing the expression of the key enzyme ACSL1 in lipid metabolism. |
